The 2022 Black Tuesday Barrel Series Box features fresh, unique, and exciting barrel treatments of Black Tuesday. The big and bold nature of the Black Tuesday base beer lends itself well to to lengthy wood-aging and highlights the unique nuances of each spirit barrel.

This collection represents our 13 years and collective 10,000+ hours of practice and dedication to the art of barrel-aging, and stands as a testament to our team’s commitment to never taking the easy way and constantly striving to improve. Our Bruers’ determination and passion shines in this case study of the effects of different spirit barrels on our iconic imperial stout, Black Tuesday. Enjoy side by side for comparison, or one at a time to savor all the flavors.

Black Tuesday - Brandy Barrel-Aged:
This version of Black Tuesday spent 14 months developing in choice brandy barrels and brings all the big characteristics you would expect. A big body, bold mouthfeel, and sticky sweetness lead the way for vinous notes of dark cherry. The distinctive flavor profile of the barrels allows for even more barrel character in the liquid, resulting in a unique spin on Black Tuesday’s classic rich complexities.

Black Tuesday - Red Wine Barrel-Aged:
This version of Black Tuesday spent 14 months developing in Zinfandel barrels from Sonoma County. Drawing inspiration from our history of working with grapes, this barrel treatment is bursting with grape character, with hints of cherry and dark fruit on the nose. Pouring a very deep red color, the tannic, dry character is rounded out by a nearly vanilla finish from time in American oak.

Black Tuesday - Gin Barrel-Aged:
This version of Black Tuesday spent 14 months developing in a variety of gin barrels which we then blended for optimal botanical flavors and aromas. Indeed, those botanical aromas are the first thing you’ll notice wafting out of the glass to greet you. Enjoy rich notes of toasty caramel and hints of deep botanicals on the palate, delightfully balancing the deep complexities of Black Tuesday.

Black Tuesday - Tequila Barrel-Aged:
This version of Black Tuesday spent 14 months developing in tequila barrels, serving up exciting, bold notes and spicy-sweet aromas of agave. True to the flavors you’d expect of tequila barrels, enjoy hints of oak and spice, natural saltiness, and just a touch of heat. The immense amount of barrel character is at the forefront, bringing a light spice and lot of party to Black Tuesday.
